Nope. Nothing worked at all lol. Like I said, I’ve been surprised that it has been such an issue. My old printer (Brother MFC-L2700DW) was ‘broken’ by my dog so I had to set it up to print wirelessly (it was a drama but I got there lol). It did print but the scanner part was totally stuffed lol. But, the ‘wireless’ 2700 printed seamlessly on Solus and I managed to make it print on Manjaro. I had decided to get a new printer (Brother MFC-L2710DW) anyway but I didn’t try the new one till I put Ubuntu Mate 17.10 on my computer to try out. As you can see from the previous messages, it has just been one issue after another lol. The 2710 is a slightly faster, slightly higher resolution, higher memory version of the 2700 I originally used. The .gz install file has the same nomenclature for both the 2700 and 2710 and I’ve assumed that they are the same drivers… doesn’t guarantee it though, I do understand that. There are ‘two’ printers currently installed on Ubuntu - the one with the USB connection and another one, that is I assume a wireless connection. The ‘wireless’ one has a ‘localhost’ CUPS website connection, whereas the USB one doesn’t. Neither print/scan. And I can’t even ‘delete’ the ‘wireless’ one from the system… it just keeps coming back lol. It just won’t die
